    I'm all in on banning guns, but nobody would say "Just driver's license things" when someone drives off the cliff in a murder suicide.

      They would if America's requirements for holding a driver's license were just turning up and a DMV and saying "I pinkie promise I know how to drive and will not drive off a cliff in a murder suicide".

      If you don't want people who commit murder with legal guns called "legal gun owners", stop selling them legal guns.

          The part where they make sure you can actually drive and revoke your license if you're a danger to others on the road.

          But why try and torture your analogy further? People aren't driving off cliffs and if they were, we could stop it with stronger barriers and no lobby groups or death cults would fight to stop it.
